This was an interesting listen - written when Peter Capaldi was the doctor still, there was one story for each regeneration - one with each doctor (12 stories in total). I definitely preferred the later stories to the earlier ones (from the 8th doctor on - although I did enjoy the 7th doctor’s too, but that was mostly because it was Ace reading Ace’s story, I think), as they were generally more what I am used to in terms of Doctor who and more gripping.
Some of the stories were quite dark considering it was written for kids, but definitely worth a listen, as they were very enticing and interesting stories. (My favourite has to be the 11th Doctor one - partially because it’s the 11th Doctor, but partly because it had the weeping angels in it!!!)
I can recommend, but I’m not sure I’d read the book as a while again.
